In reality, Clyde never actually planned on walking back to the school. Hell he didn't even leave property of Chantelle's house. As soon as he walked out the front door, he closed it and sat on the wall right next to it. He pulled his knees close to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and watching the world around him as it progressed, despite his problems. He found a small comfort in the fact that his problems never left an impact on the rest of the world.
